Subject: Proposed Alcohol-Free Tobacco-Free Utahns Day


August 4, 2023

Dear Utah Department of Health and Human Services Executive Director Tracy S. Gruber,

Do you agree with me that the percentage of Utahns age 30 or older who do not consume any drinking alcohol, any tobacco, any vaping product, any marijuana, or any  illicit drug of any type in an entire  calendar year has declined significantly in the most recent 10-year period?

If so, to what do you attribute this shocking decline that has occurred here in Utah?

Also, do you agree with me that the growing percentage of Utahns age 30 or older who DO consume the above-cited  dangerous  substances on a frequent basis  poses a very alarming public health threat to our entire Beehive State?

Ms. Gruber, do you also agree with me that under these circumstances in which there has been a massive  influx into Utah by new residents age 30 or older who consume alcohol, tobacco, and illicit drugs on a year-round basis, there is an urgent need for an annual  "Solidarity With Alcohol-free and Tobacco-free Utahns March" to the Utah State Capitol building?

Finally, world you like to see an entire day of each year be officially designated as  "Alcohol-free Tobacco-Free Utahns Day"? 

The intent behind these types of statewide civic events would be to offer a  much-deserved and well-publicized endorsement of and statewide promotion of alcohol-free, tobacco-free,  non-vaping, illicit-drug-free lifestyle practices  here in Utah.

Thank you in advance, Ms. Gruber, for your prompt letter to me on this.

Sincerely and Best Wishes,
John Kevin McMillan, 535 South 200 East, Apt. 912, Salt Lake City, UT 84111.
My home phone: (512) 993-7305.
